Family In Need of Services (FINS) cases may be filed when a child's behavior includes such acts as running away, being truant, or being disobedient to his or her parents and is brought to the attention of the juvenile authorities by parents. The goal of a FINS case is to work out a course of action to stop these problems. FINS cases also include kids who commit crimes who are under 10 and kids who have mental health and alcohol and drug-related problems.
